WELD PREPARATION AND FINISHING
IN 4 STEPS (CARBON STEEL)
  STEP 1
  CUTTING
  Flexovit Maxx3 cutting discs are easy to use, easy to steer and deliver consistent results. Thanks
  to the sharp ceramic grain which cuts with ease through the metal, MAXX3 reduces vibration on
  the surface, making cutting more comfortable.

  STEP 2
  CLEANING
  Mega-line Flexclean discs are best used at a 10-15° angle to quickly eliminate unwanted
  coatings and corrosion, with minimal stock removal. It’s a truly versatile product, as you can
  achieve a more aggressive action as you increase the pressure. It’s comfortable to use without
  damaging or gouging components.

  STEP 3
  BEVELLING
  Bevel the edges of your workpiece prior to welding to ensure the weld fully penetrates the metal
  with new Flexovit Maxx3 Light Comfort Grinding discs - at only 3mm thick they’re smoother,
  stronger and faster than conventional 7mm wheels.

  STEP 4
  WELD SEAM REMOVAL
  Industrial Line Premium flap discs are tough and versatile. The premium self sharpening zirconia
  grain provides a consistent cut rate throughout disc life, giving you a consistent high-quality finish.

WELD REMOVAL TO A COMMERCIAL FINISH
IN 2 STEPS (STAINLESS STEEL)
  STEP 1
  STOCK REMOVAL
  Mega-Line FX777 discs in grit P50 used at 10-15° angle will remove the remaining weld quickly.
  For faster material removal, a reinforced back-up pad with grit P36 works best. For more details
  on our available back-up pads, see page 30.

  STEP 2
  BLENDING & REFINING
  Industrial Line surface blending discs are ideal for blending applications and will remove grind
  lines left by the fibre disc during the stock removal stage. The bright finish left by the disc can be
  used either as the final finish or as an intermediate step to a polished finish.

CUTTING TO A COMMERCIAL FINISH
IN 3 STEPS (STAINLESS STEEL)
  STEP 1
  CUTTING

  Flexovit Maxx3 discs cut with ease through stainless steel. Thanks to the ceramic grain, the
  discs ‘bite’ the metal and don’t bounce or vibrate during use, meaning a more comfortable
  cutting experience throughout disc life.

  STEP 2
  DEBURRING AND SHAPING
  The ceramic grain in the Flexovit Mega-Line Pink discs has an aggressive, consistent cutting
  action for maximum stock removal. Flap discs deliver longer life and more comformability
  compared to fibre discs, adapting to the workpiece edge for better results.
  Grit P60 produces light finish lines, which can be easily removed using a megaline Flexfinish
  blending disc; use a powerful angle grinder above 1200W for optimum performance.

  STEP 3
  BLENDING & REFINING
  Megaline Flexfinish discs are comfortable to use with finer finishing capabilities. Discs are best
  used at an angle of 10-15° preventing scratch patterns. A Medium grade disc is used to refine
  the finish after step 2.

WELD REMOVAL TO A MIRROR FINISH
IN 4 STEPS (STAINLESS STEEL)
  STEP 1
  STOCK REMOVAL
  Flexovit Mega-Line Pink flap discs in grit P60 are ideal for weld and stock removal. Flap discs
  are particularly suited to this application as the constant erosion of the backing allows new,
  sharper grain to be exposed during use, offering longer product life. As the backing is softer than
  that of a fibre disc, the surface finish will be better, reducing the number of further steps.

  STEP 2
  BLENDING & REFINING
  Mega-Line Flexfinish discs are comfortable to use with finer finishing capabilities. Engineered
  grain technology provides multiple uses in one disc, whilst the dense fibre and tightly packed grain
  provide increased life. Discs are best used at an angle of 10-15° preventing scratch patterns.

  STEP 3
  FINISHING
  Speedoflex Flexfinish has excellent final finishing capabilities and imparts an extremely fine,
  bright and shiny surface. It’s best used at a 10-15° angle and needs to be moved slowly across
  the workpiece, using just the weight of the angle grinder for pressure. For best results and to
  avoid burn use at 6000 to 7000 rpm.

  STEP 4
  POLISHING
  Industrial line Flexpolish flap discs are made of felt wool to generate a mirror finish with smooth,
  scratch free results. Use with a polishing compound and operate at 6000-7000rpm to avoid burn.

NON-FERROUS METAL PREPARATION
FOR PAINT AND COATINGS
IN 2 STEPS
  STEP 1
  STOCK REMOVAL
  Industrial Line FX672 fibre discs in grit P60 are a good option for non-ferrous soft materials.
  Due to the soft nature of the material they need to be used with light and even pressure to avoid
  gouging and excess material removal. For best results choose the medium density back-up pad,
  see page 30 for details.

  STEP 2
  BLENDING & REFINING

  Mega-Line Flexfinish should be used after the fibre disc to impart a finish ready to be coated
  as it removes scratch patterns and provides a key for any surface coating or paint to adhere to
  minimising the risk of peeling.

PAINT COATING AND CORROSION REMOVAL
2 OPTIONS
  OPTION 1
  SURFACE PREPARATION & CLEANING
  Mega-Line Flexclean discs are best used at 10-15° angle to quickly eliminate unwanted
  coatings and corrosion, with minimal stock removal. The open nature of the web prevents
  gouging, snagging or shedding even under high pressure, creating a truly versatile disc that
  allows you to achieve more aggressive removal by increasing the pressure.

  OPTION 2
  SURFACE PREPARATION & CLEANING

  Twist knotted wire cup brushes can be used as an alternative to Mega-Line Flexclean. A range of
  cup brushes are available for hard to reach areas or flat surfaces. The comformability of the wire
  structure enables the brush to remove unwanted coatings from uneven or pitted surfaces.

SCALE REMOVAL & CLEANING
1 OPTION
  OPTION 1
  SCALE REMOVAL AND CLEANING
  Speedoflex KX31 Plus flap wheels will quickly remove the scale, rust or paint from the
  workpiece. They are ideal for sanding contours and uneven surfaces, whilst delivering a
  consistent cut rate. Ideal for linear finishing in metal fabrication and welding industries.
  Flexovit flap wheels are more forgiving than other abrasives, reducing the risk of flattening,
  gouging or surface deformation, meaning fewer rejected parts, and better long term productivity.
